It actually strikes me more and more that, I will bet you dollars to
donuts that the only reason Lawrence and Avmap don't have XM weather
is an exclusive contract with Garmin that Garmin is paying good
money to maintain... (that's how things work in my industry, its
not about the technology, its about the Licenses... its not what do
you make, its who do you have). Why take the risk on designing a
new project when for a stipend per month you can have the whole
market to yourself?


[Where in hell do people come up with this stuff?]



How many dollars you got because I can come up with a lot of donuts?

Snipped too much, Gig!

Yes it is Matt. I'm sure you will be hearing from their lawyers soon if
they can finish up the licensing deal for the peanuts.
